To all whom it may concern: p

Be it known that I, DAVID GrNsBURG, resident of 611 Clark street, in thecity and district of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, in theDominion of Canada, a subject of the King of Roumania, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Pockets, of which thefollowing is a specification.

llhe invention relates to improvements in garment pockets, as describedin the present specification and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings that form part of the same.

The invention consists essentially in extending the pocket recess abovethe pocket slit in the garment and carrying a dividing piece from' thelower end of said pocket above said slit for insertion into said upperpocket recess.

The object of the invention are to devise a pocket for garment-s whichmay be converted from one form of pocket into another form of pocket,each conversion being made without necessarily stitching or adopting anyform of fastening, and generally to provide a neat and elegant pocketarrangement which will appeal to the most fastidious person.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the invention, showing theplain flap pocket. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the invention showing thesame parts converted to an outside open pocket. Fig. 3 is a plan viewshowing the conversion of the parts to a plain slit pocket. Fig. 4 is aplan view of the invention showing the conversion of the parts to acombined open and flap pocket. Fig. 5 is an enlarged vertical sectionalview of the arrangement of the pocket illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 6 isan enlarged vertical sectional view of the arrangement of the pocketillustrated in Fig. 2. Fig. 7 is an enlarged vertical sectional view ofthe arrangement of the pocket illustrated in Fig. 3. Fig. 8 is anenlarged vertical sectional view of the arrangement of the pocketillustrated in Fig. 4.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is the material of the garment having thepocket slit 2.

3 is a pocket secured to the inturned margin 41 of the material 1 at thefront of the pocket and at the rear of the pocket secured to theinturned margin 5 of material 1 forming the supplemental pocket recess 6above the slit 2, this supplemental recess being very essential to theoperation of the ininvention.

7 is a dividing piece extending from the lower end of the pocket 3,either through the slit 2 or into the recess 6 in any case extendingabove said slit 2 and having at its upper end the piece of material 8secured thereto preferably similar to the material 1. The piece 8extends downwardly and forms the flap 9, this flap 9 hanging loose overthe dividing piece 7 from the row of stitching 10.

ln the use of this invention for an ordinary iiap pocket, the piece 8 isinserted in the recess 6 and this gives the customary coat pocketcovered by the flap 9 which hangs down over the regular opening in thepocket.

ln order to convert the pocket to an open outside pocket, the flap isturned in and the piece S brought out from the recess 6 and in thisinstance the pocket used is to the in* side of the dividing piece 7,whereas in the ordinary flap pocket, the part used is to t-he outside ofthe division.

To convert the pocket to an ordinary slit pocket, the piece 8 is turnedinto the recess 6 and the flap into the pocket, thus exposing the plainslit, of course, this form of pocket is practically like any coat pocketwith the flap turned in, the outer division of the pocket being used.

The last conversion of the pocket is to an open outside pocket with afancy flap and in this form the piece 8 is taken out of the recess andexposed and the flap of the pocket also exposed, and in this case theinside division of the pocket is used.

What I claim as my invention is:

In a device of the class described, in combination, a piece of materialhaving a pocket slit therethrough and inturned margins 'of cloth fromsaid slit, a pocket secured to said inturned margins of cloth extendinginwardly above said slit forming an upper iiap recess, and a dividingpiece extending from the lower end of the pocket and forming inner andouter d1- visions in said pocket and terminating adjacent the slit atits upper end in a piece of garment material stitched thereacross andextending above said slit and adapted to extend either into said upperrecess or over llO the outer surface of the garment material, f treal,in the Province of Quebec, in the Dosaid piece of garment material atthe upper minion of Canada, this 24th day of August, l0
